Proverbs 15:31, "Whoever heeds life-giving correction will be at home among the wise” Johanna Schopenhauer was the first German woman to publish books without a pseudonym, and was a popular author in Germany. She was also the mother of the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer and said this about her son. "You are not an evil human; you are not without intellect and education; you have everything that could make you a credit to human society. Moreover, I am acquainted with your heart and know that few are better, but you are nevertheless irritating and unbearable, and I consider it most difficult to live with you." BE CRITICAL, although you may be disliked, you will improve the world. "Criticism can be avoided by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing." 425
